DAILY HERALD,
CRIMINALITIES.
An Aged Woman Dies From
Excessive DRINK.
SHOT IN TIE DARK.
The Brother Of q Wife Murderer
viii Take Care of His
Nieces.

Yesterday morning about 3 O'Clock
thres young men who had arrived
from Ventura the day before and who
had seen the sights, were coming from
. house of ill-fame on Alameda street
in hack towards First when they
saw a couple. of quadroon women
walk into house on Vine
street. Being intoxicated, they
proposed to follow the women
but the door being locked and
entrance denied they thought that the
simplest manner to get in was to burst
open the door. This they did, but to
their utmost surprise a fusilade an
swered their attempt. l. H. Gleayes,
the colorcd barkeeper OF the place,
had resented the intrusion with 49,
caliber Bulldog, and shot two bullets
xt the men who had stormed his
saloon. The first bullet pierced the
hat of Thomas Gormez, one OF the
gang, blowing furrow on the crest OF
his luxurious hair and the second one,
after touching his thumb, lodged in
his left side, Just under the skin. Ser
geant Jeffries who was near at hand,
with officer Fowler, came up in time
to arrest the whole outfit. At
the station Gleaves was charged
with assault to murder, and Thomas
Gormez, w. ]. Jones and Thomas
Lane were booked for being drunk.
The bullet which Gomez had under
the skin was pressed out by Sergeant
Jeffries at the police office and it was
then found that his injuries were OF
an insignificant character. Yesterday
morning the whole gang had a meet
ing, at which it was decided that 1t
would be foolish to prosecute each
other, and when they were brought
up before Justice Austin the colored
barkeeper would make no charge
against the white invaders and the
trio from Ventura had forgotten all
about the shooting episode. Sergeant
Jeffries was equal to the occasion and.
under the city ordinances, charged
the whole gang with disordeTly con
duct. Justice Austin, after hearing
the evidence, fined the three men
from Ventura $40 apiece, but consld-
ering that Gleaves had acted in self
deieuse, let him off.

Card From Post master Preuss.

ED. HERALD :-Refering to an item
in a Pasadena paper which stated that
money-order 43,281 for $57. 10, issued
by this Office in favor of a party in
Pasadena, and unpaid. though fire.
quently called for-and intimating
that Mr.. Wood, the money-order
clerk, was to blame-is a great injus-
tice to this office and to him. The
money-order advice in question was
duly forwarded from this office by Mr..
Flint, my assistant. The facts are
that owing to the immense amount OF
work entailed on one clerk in the
money-order department, it is many
times impossible to write up and for
ward the advices promptly, and this
is all there is in this matter. When a
man works from 8 a. m. till 10 to IL
o'clock at night, and then is unable to
get the work up, it is necessary that
the public have patience, or that the
Department increase the force.

Hon. A. G. Throop was chosen chair
man, and Mr.. Deere, secretary. After
the opening prayer, by Rev. G. E..
Churchill, Rev. G.. HI. Deere offered the
following resolution, which was unan-
imously adopted:
ResoIred, That the necessities of our
church, in California, require the union
of our parishes in a common organiza-
tion; and, although but three of the six
parishes in the State have the requisite
constitutional age, we deem it best at
once to adopt the form of State Con-
vention, recommended by the Univers-
alist General Convention, under which
to exercise such functions of govern
meDt as we may until admitted into
the fellowship of the General Conven-
tion.
After reading, discussing and filling
blank, the Constitution and Bylaws
were unanimously adopted.
The following is the list of officers
chosen for the ensuing year: President,
Hon. A. G.. Throop, of Pasadena; vice.
president, Rev. G. H. Deere, of River
side; secretary, Rev. G. E. Churchill,

of Santa Anna; trustees, l.. Van DORM,
of San Bernardino; VIM. Finch, of Riv-
erside; and J. W. Clark, of Pomona;
preacher of occasional sermon, Rev. S.
Goodenough, of Oakland.
All Souls Sunday-frst in Novem-
ber-was chosen for the annual collec-
tion in the parishes for the State Con-
vention; and Easter Sunday, for the
General Convention. The annual meet
ing will be held on the first Wednesday
in June of each year. commencing at
2 P. NJ. The Executive Committee,
Board of officers and Trustees were in
structed to hold such conferences during
the year as the interests of the church
may require.
An invitation to hold the next annual
session of the Convention at Pasadena,
proffered by that parish through its
pastor, Rev. E. l.. Conger, was accepted.
On Wednesday evening an earnest
and profitable conference was held, led
by Rev. Mr.. Deere, in which Rev. Messrs.
Conger and Churchill and Hon. A. G.
Throop took part.
AdjOurning on Thursday, to meet at
Pasadena next June, the delegates were
